Georgia tight end Brock Bowers leads the John Mackey Award Watch List released on July 22.
The John Mackey Award is presented annually to the nation’s best college tight end and is named for the Pro Football Hall of Famer.
Bowers enters 2022 as one of college football’s best tight ends, as he helped the Bulldogs win the national championship last season. He returns hoping to help the Bulldogs mount a title defense.
The Bulldogs are featured in the 2022 College Football America Yearbook.
The College Football America 2022 Yearbook features more than 900 college football teams from the United States and Canada in more than 250 striking, full-color pages. That includes every team from the NCAA (FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III), NAIA, NJCAA, CCCAA and U Sports (Canada). It also includes dozens of action shots and stadium photos taken by the CFA staff.
